Genetic autopsy of perinatal death: diagnosis and discovery by Genome Sequencing [ 2017 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Hamish Scott (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Christopher Barnett ,  Prof David Adelson

Brief description Stillbirth, miscarriage and genetic termination of pregnancy are common and traumatic events. Despite medical investigation, many of the causes of these events are unexplained. This project plans to employ the latest in whole genome sequencing and functional modelling to explain these occurrences as well as lead to an increase in knowledge of genetics and development.
